CLIMATE EMERGENCY PROJECT
Cameroon women are the backbone of the economy —they are in charge of farming, preparing produce, among others, yet they wake up and go to bed without reliable electricity. The lack of a safe and reliable source of energy exacerbates the existing power imbalance between male and females in Cameroon. Women are overwhelmed with heavy domestic roles left to them such as cooking among others. These roles could be performed well and much easier with reliable energy. In addition, the women purchase candles and kerosene to use at night, they pay some money to the power owners to be able to charge phones, while children do revision at night using candles, all these deter effectiveness and safety. The inadequacy of power contributes to women’s vulnerability to family violence and limits effectiveness in their roles as home caretakers, yet they are the ones running small businesses and as mothers and frontline community members, they are in a unique position to interact with communities and hence should be at the center of the efforts to improve energy improvement. The women could even do better if they worked together as teams to challenge these setbacks.
This project is focus on supporting crisis affected local women who are IDPs and host community members with durable, solar-powered products and clean cooking stoves in order to enable them have access to clean at and safe energy for lighting, cooking, heating and processing and as well enable them to reduce emission of GHG and deforestation, increase care for natural resources and fight climate change. Time and energy invested in sourcing for fuel will be used to reinvested in income generating activities therefore improving the quality of life of beneficiaries, implying good health and sustainable environment.
Also, in Partnership with MASTERPEACE COOL, we are using innovative and creative means and also developing Climate leadership amongst youth and children and motivating people to take practical actions in their communities

Human rights violations against women are still rampant in our region, with women and girls facing assault, sexual abuse, discrimination, or hurdles to financial independence and involvement in decision-making that directly impacts their daily lives. Long-term, sustainable support is important to ensure the long-term viability of critical programs that help women and girls when they are most vulnerable.
